We hypothesized that the lipid-activated transcription factor, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor cu (PPAR alpha), plays a pivotal role in the cellular metabolic response to fasting, Short-term starvation caused hepatic steatosis, myocardial lipid accumulation, and hypoglycemia, with an inadequate ketogenic response in adult mice lacking PPAR alpha (PPAR alpha(-/-)), a phenotype that bears remarkable similarity to that of humans with genetic defects in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzymes. In PPAR alpha(+/+) mice, fasting induced the hepatic and cardiac expression of PPAR alpha target genes encoding key mitochondrial (medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase I) and extramitochondrial (acyl-CoA oxidase, cytochrome p450 4A3) enzymes. In striking contrast, the hepatic and cardiac expression of most PPAR alpha target genes was not induced by fasting in PPAR alpha(-/-) mice, These results define a critical role for PPAR alpha in a transcriptional regulatory response to fasting and identify the PPAR alpha(-/-) mouse as a potentially useful murine model of inborn and acquired abnormalities of human fatty acid utilization.
